Yvelines, north-west of Paris, France.
Nothing in Paris, temperatures around 10°C, as they have been for the last week.

But my auntie rang last night, to say it was white over in Sheffield. I checked the BBC website; local radio pages are good. A57 Snake pass is closed, though that doesn't take a great deal... You get maybe 6" of snow, the wind up there is strong enough to blow it into 4' drifts.

Riding over there one January night on a motorbike, I saw something horrible. A sort of red, gooey mess with four legs, squealing in agony.

It was a sheep that had been blown inside out by a gust.


Keith.

Went walking up the Brecon Beacons this morning with a pal, 'twas a great suprise to see snow on the hills, there'd been quite a fall during the night but it had turned to rain by the time we got there. Nonetheless there was a good covering, and we were able to follow the tracks of a little fox which was using the same path we were on, probably five or so minutes ahead of us.

We should be careful though. We could end up getting the blame for all the british weather :shock:

Bushcrafti and all it's ministers strive to do there best...under no circumstances should they be held responsible for the reletively uncontrollable uk weather...we do our best :wink:

:eek:):

I think it's right leg forward...
